"Please do not throw chicken bones
on to the race track"

this is an odd soap opera
these moments of pashion
a literal mind translates slowly

like the Good Book, or Books I
have not read. with so much "chaos"
yet, there is so much to be done

conservative, I don't know what that is
a reflection on the past or the past as future?
this is not always good but
not always evil, but who are you in the office?
Are you here with us now?

Moxie was a tradition
created as a nerve tonic
and became, tastes bad

but acquired tastes
I became Moxie to reflect
I do not give up

But I am not always sweet

I met Alan Jackson last night
not the country singer but
a man by that same name
I did not believe him, Mr. "Classy" here
but at Mic Mac he proved me wrong, and I smiled
For once I smiled

what is he, what is she?
